6.10. Visualization¶
This section covers some tools to visualize your data and model.
6.10.1. Use Seaborn Style on Matplotlib Plots¶
Seaborn style looks nicer than the default style of matplotlib, but matplotlib is more customizable. If you want to apply seaborn style on matplotlib plots, use seaborn.set_theme().
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
import seaborn as sns
# Set seaborn style
sns.set_theme()
# Data for plotting
t = np.arange(0.0, 2.0, 0.01)
s = 1 + np.sin(2 * np.pi * t)
# Plot the data
fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(10, 7))
ax.plot(t, s)
plt.show()
6.10.2. Graphviz: Create a Flowchart to Capture Your Ideas in Python¶
A flowchart is helpful for summarizing and visualizing your workflow. This also helps your team understand your workflow. Wouldn’t it be nice if you could create a flowchart using Python?
Graphviz makes it easy to create a flowchart like below.
!pip install graphviz
from graphviz import Graph
# Instantiate a new Graph object
dot = Graph('Data Science Process', format='png')
# Add nodes
dot.node('A', 'Get Data')
dot.node('B', 'Clean, Prepare, & Manipulate Data')
dot.node('C', 'Train Model')
dot.node('D', 'Test Data')
dot.node('E', 'Improve')
# Connect these nodes
dot.edges(['AB', 'BC', 'CD', 'DE'])
# Save chart
dot.render('data_science_flowchart', view=True)
'data_science_flowchart.png'
dot
6.10.3. folium: Create an Interactive Map in Python¶
!pip install folium
If you want to create a map provided the location in a few lines of code, try folium. Folium is a Python library that allows you to create an interactive map.
import folium
m = folium.Map(location=[45.5236, -122.6750])
tooltip = 'Click me!'
folium.Marker([45.3288, -121.6625], popup='<i>Mt. Hood Meadows</i>',
tooltip=tooltip).add_to(m)
m
View the document of folium here.
I used this library to view the locations of the owners of top machine learning repositories. Pretty cool to see their locations through an interactive map.
6.10.4. dtreeviz: Visualize and Interpret a Decision Tree Model¶
!pip install dtreeviz
If you want to find an easy way to visualize and interpret a decision tree model, use dtreeviz.
from dtreeviz.trees import dtreeviz
from sklearn import tree
from sklearn.datasets import load_wine
wine = load_wine()
classifier = tree.DecisionTreeClassifier(max_depth=2)
classifier.fit(wine.data, wine.target)
vis = dtreeviz(
classifier,
wine.data,
wine.target,
target_name="wine_type",
feature_names=wine.feature_names,
)
vis.view()
findfont: Font family ['Arial'] not found. Falling back to DejaVu Sans.
findfont: Font family ['Arial'] not found. Falling back to DejaVu Sans.
findfont: Font family ['Arial'] not found. Falling back to DejaVu Sans.
findfont: Font family ['Arial'] not found. Falling back to DejaVu Sans.
The image below shows the output of dtreeviz when applying it on DecisionTreeClassifier.
6.10.5. HiPlot - High Dimensional Interactive Plotting¶
!pip install hiplot
If you are tuning hyperparameters of your machine learning model, it can be difficult to understand the relationships between different combinations of hyperparameters and a specific metric.
That is when HiPlot comes in handy. HiPlot allows you to discover patterns in high-dimensional data using parallel plots like below.
import hiplot as hip
data = [{'lr': 0.001, 'loss': 10.0, 'r2': 0.8, 'optimizer': 'SGD'},
{'lr': 0.01, 'loss': 2.5, 'r2': 0.9, 'optimizer': 'Adam'},
{'lr': 0.1, 'loss': 4, 'r2': 0.86, 'optimizer': 'Adam'}]
hip.Experiment.from_iterable(data).display()
<hiplot.ipython.IPythonExperimentDisplayed at 0x7f10ba5ebbb0>
6.10.6. missingno.dendogram: Visualize Correlation Between Missing Data¶
!pip install missingno sklearn
Missing values can sometimes tell you how strongly the presence or absence of one variable affects the presence of another. To visualize the correlation between different columns based on the missing values, use missingno.dendogram.
from sklearn.datasets import fetch_openml
soybean = fetch_openml(name="soybean", as_frame=True)['data']
import missingno as msno
msno.dendrogram(soybean)
<AxesSubplot:>
The dendrogram uses a hierarchical clustering algorithm to bin variables against one another by their nullity correlation. Cluster leaves which linked together at a distance of zero fully predict one another’s presence. In the graph above, the nullity of seed-discolor fully predicts the nullity of germination.
6.10.7. matplotlib-venn: Create a Venn Diagram Using Python¶
!pip install matplotlib-venn
If you want to draw a venn diagram using Python, try matplotlib-venn. To create a venn diagram using matplotlib-venn, you can specify the size of each region:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from matplotlib_venn import venn2
venn2(subsets = (8, 10, 5), set_labels = ('Are Healthy', 'Do Exercise'))
plt.show()
… or specify the elements in each set:
venn2([set(['A', 'B', 'C', 'D']), set(['D', 'E', 'F'])], set_labels=['Group1', 'Group2'])
plt.show()
You can also draw three cicles using venn3:
from matplotlib_venn import venn3
venn3(subsets = (5, 5, 3, 5, 3, 3, 2), set_labels = ('Are Healthy', 'Do Exercise', 'Eat Well'))
plt.show()
6.10.8. UMAP: Dimension Reduction in Python¶
!pip install umap-learn[plot]
It can be difficult to visualize a multi-dimensional dataset. Luckily, UMAP allows you to reduce the dimension of your dataset and create a 2D views of your data.
To understand how UMAP works, let’s try with the fruit dataset. In this dataset, we have the features of different fruits, such as mass, width, height, and color score. Our task is to classify which fruit a sample belongs to based on its features.
from sklearn.datasets import load_digits
from sklearn.preprocessing import StandardScaler
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import seaborn as sns
import pandas as pd
%matplotlib inline
sns.set(style='white', context='notebook', rc={'figure.figsize':(14,10)})
Let’s start with loading and visualizing the data.
data = pd.read_table("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/susanli2016/Machine-Learning-with-Python/master/fruit_data_with_colors.txt")
data.head(10)
| fruit_label | fruit_name | fruit_subtype | mass | width | height | color_score | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 1 | apple | granny_smith | 192 | 8.4 | 7.3 | 0.55 |
| 1 | 1 | apple | granny_smith | 180 | 8.0 | 6.8 | 0.59 |
| 2 | 1 | apple | granny_smith | 176 | 7.4 | 7.2 | 0.60 |
| 3 | 2 | mandarin | mandarin | 86 | 6.2 | 4.7 | 0.80 |
| 4 | 2 | mandarin | mandarin | 84 | 6.0 | 4.6 | 0.79 |
| 5 | 2 | mandarin | mandarin | 80 | 5.8 | 4.3 | 0.77 |
| 6 | 2 | mandarin | mandarin | 80 | 5.9 | 4.3 | 0.81 |
| 7 | 2 | mandarin | mandarin | 76 | 5.8 | 4.0 | 0.81 |
| 8 | 1 | apple | braeburn | 178 | 7.1 | 7.8 | 0.92 |
| 9 | 1 | apple | braeburn | 172 | 7.4 | 7.0 | 0.89 |
sns.pairplot(data.drop(columns=['fruit_label', 'fruit_subtype']), hue='fruit_name')
<seaborn.axisgrid.PairGrid at 0x7f09bcc1b250>
We can see some distinctions between different fruits in the pairwise feature scatterplot matrix. Now to visualize all 4 features in a 2D plot, we start with creating a UMAP object.
import umap
reducer = umap.UMAP()
Next, we scale the features so that they are all on the same scale.
features = data.iloc[:, 3:].values
scaled_features = StandardScaler().fit_transform(features)
Lastly, we use the UMAP object to reduce the dimension of the dataset and plot the features as a scatter plot.
embedding = reducer.fit_transform(scaled_features)
embedding.shape
(59, 2)
plt.scatter(
embedding[:, 0],
embedding[:, 1],
c=[sns.color_palette()[x] for x in data.fruit_label])
plt.gca().set_aspect('equal', 'datalim')
plt.title('UMAP projection of the fruit dataset', fontsize=24)
Text(0.5, 1.0, 'UMAP projection of the fruit dataset')
Now we can see some distinctions in features between 4 different fruits in a 2D plot.
6.10.9. Evidently: Detect and Visualize Data Drift¶
!pip install evidently
Data drift is unexpected changes in model input data that can lead to model performance degradation. Since your code is built around the characteristics of your data, it is important to detect data drift when it occurs. Evidently allows you to do exactly in a few lines of code.
In the code below, we use Evidently to detect changes in feature distribution.
import pandas as pd
from sklearn import datasets
from evidently.dashboard import Dashboard
from evidently.tabs import DataDriftTab
california = datasets.fetch_california_housing()
california = pd.DataFrame(california.data, columns = california.feature_names)
california_data_drift_report = Dashboard(tabs=[DataDriftTab])
california_data_drift_report.calculate(california[:1000], california[1000:], column_mapping = None)
california_data_drift_report.show()
Find other features of Evidently here.
6.10.10. Mermaid: Create Class Diagrams for Your Python Classes Using Text and Code¶
If you want to create class diagrams to explain your Python classes, use Mermaid. Mermaid lets you create diagrams and visualizations using text and code.
For example, writing this piece of code on Mermaid Live Editor:
classDiagram
Animal <|-- Dog
Animal <|-- Cat
Animal <|-- Fish
Animal : int age
Animal : str gender
Animal: is_mammal()
Animal: is_pet()
class Dog{
str fur_color
bark()
run()
}
class Cat{
str fur_color
meow()
run()
}
class Fish{
str scale_color
swim()
}
… will create a diagram like below:
Find other diagrams you can create with Mermaid here.
6.10.11. pretty-confusion-matrix: Plot a Pretty and Comprehensible Confusion Matrix¶
!pip install -U pretty-confusion-matrix
It can be difficult to understand a confusion matrix, especially when there are many classes in the target.
import numpy as np
from sklearn.metrics import confusion_matrix
y_test = np.array([1, 2, 3, 4, 5])
prediction = np.array([3, 2, 4, 3, 5])
confusion_matrix(y_test, prediction)
array([[0, 0, 1, 0, 0],
[0, 1, 0, 0, 0],
[0, 0, 0, 1, 0],
[0, 0, 1, 0, 0],
[0, 0, 0, 0, 1]])
To make your confusion matrix prettier and easier to understand, use pretty_confusion_matrix.
from pretty_confusion_matrix import pp_matrix_from_data
cmap = 'PuRd'
pp_matrix_from_data(y_test, prediction, cmap=cmap)
6.10.12. matplotx: Useful Extensions for Matplotlib¶
!pip install matplotx[all]
Have you ever wanted to create matplotlib plot in dark mode? If so, use matplotx.
For example, to use Dracula style, add:
plt.style.use(matplotx.styles.dracula)
to the code.
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import matplotx
from IPython.core.pylabtools import figsize
# Create data
np.random.seed(2)
N = 50
x = np.random.rand(N)
y = np.random.rand(N)
colors = np.random.rand(N)
area = (30 * np.random.rand(N))**2 # 0 to 15 point radii
# Use dracula style
plt.style.use(matplotx.styles.dracula)
# Create a scatter plot
plt.scatter(x, y, s=area, c=colors)
figsize(10, 10)
plt.show()
Other styles that matplotx provides are:
‘aura’,
‘ayu’,
‘challenger_deep’,
‘dracula’,
‘dufte’,
‘dufte_bar’,
‘duftify’,
‘github’,
‘gruvbox’,
‘nord’,
‘onedark’,
‘pacoty’,
‘pitaya_smoothie’,
‘solarized’,
‘tab10’,
‘tab20’,
‘tab20r’,
‘tokyo_night’
Each style might have dark and light mode. For example, to use the dark mode version of aura style, type:
matplotx.styles.aura['dark']
